      Audience Member I went with 2 stars for this movie, it was kinda a hard watch with the topics that this movie hit on. I don't think that it was a bad movie, just really sad and crazy. I don't think that I can reccomend this movie to anybody tbh. I only seen it once, and I think that once is enough. It is very run of the mill 90's ganster shoot out movies. They don't make movies like this anymore. It is crazy to see Jim Brown in this type of role though, I don't think that I can watch this movie more then once, not because it is a bad movie, but because of how the movie is and what it shows etc... I did see that this movie got a low rating though, this movie was a hitshow though because it is kinda all over the place though idk 2 stars. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible acting and loads of gun play as rival gangs fight for crack dealing rights in high school. Loads of bad actors past teenage years playing teens in hoot outs and gang members. Lost among the action is Jim Brown as weasly crack king pin, playing a good part. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's like a hardcore version of an after school program warning against the dangers of drugs. It's pretty funny how non-PC it is with the gangs. "Bitch, you stink!" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This might make it's way into the awesomely bad Hall of Fame. It's a "Saved By The Bell/Boyz in the Hood/Death Wish" Public Service Announcement. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice, I'm the first person to review Crack House. Crack House features some very nice use of racial stereotypes, Shaft as a cop, and the most bad-ass guidance counselor caught on film. All in all, a consummate depiction of America on the 80's. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is so bad! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) I believe Crack House should be mandatory viewing for all 8th graders in the United States of America. Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the film is bogged down by some seriously terrible dialogue that's exacerbated by acting that is (to put it very mildly) amateurish. Rated: 1.5/4 May 27, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
